This pocket reference is indispensable for radiologists and MRI technologists who need to determine the safety of MR procedures in patients with metallic bioimplants, prostheses, and other objects. Designed for on-the-spot reference, it is the first comprehensive source of information on metallic objects that have been tested for compatibility or safety with MR systems. This book contains an extensive tabular listing of over 900 objects that have been tested with regard to the MR environment. The coverage spans the full range of metallic objects encountered in patients in a clinical MR practice. Dr. Shellock's guide defines practicality with a user-friendly organization...separate chapters on categories of implants and devices...and the latest safety guidelines and recommendations.
